VOLUME V. COLUMBIA, MISSOURI, MONDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1897. NUMBER 2.
SCHOLARSHIPS.
The university has two representatives en-joying
scholarships in the east this year. One
is held by Mr. G. D. Edwards and the other
by Miss Lalla Rookh Rogers, both of whom
were members of the academic class of '97.
Mr. Edwards' scholarship entitles him to free
tuition at Harvard, while the honor that
Miss Rogers enjoys was bestowed by Cor-nell
university, Ithaca, New York. A few
facts of the life of each will not be uninter-esting
to the general reader.
Miss Rogers was bom at Kingston, Mis-souri,
January 6, '76. Here she received
hei early training, graduating from the high
school in the spring of '92. The following
September she entered the Kansas City high
school, receiving her diploma in June of '93,
and the next September she became a mem-ber
of the freshman class of the university.
During her four years' study at the univer-sity
she' has attracted considerable attention
by the character of the articles which she has
contributed to the college publications, and
especially the Independent, of whose staff
she was a member for three years, and
also by the amount and character of general
leading done outside of text books. During 1

her senior year she became very enthusiastic
in the department of philosophy, and it is in
this field that she has already won distinction.
Her scholarship at Cornell entitles her to
prosecute her philosophical study for one
and likely two years. She has more than
ordinary ability and zeal for work, and it is
a very safe prediction to say she will make a
record at Cornell that will reflect credit upon
the University of Missouri and Dr. Frank
Thilly, to whom she owes so much for the
careful training and untiling attention he has
given her.
Mr. Edwards was born in the rustic dis-tricts
of Caldwell county, Missouri, in '69.
His early training was received at the old

log school house that still stands on the crest
1 of a small hill near Hamilton. In Septem-ber
of '89 he entered the first year of the pre-paratory
depaitment of the university. Since
then he has been out of school tvo yeais,
during which time he was occupied with
ministerial duties. On entering school he
immediately took a keen interest in the Y. M.
C. A. work, and it is due to him more than
to any other student that the association is in
its present healthy condition. During his
senior year, he filled two pulpits, delivering
two sermons every Sunday. He did special
work in philosophy and advanced psychol-ogy.
He is preparing for the pulpit, and
unlike most candidates for the ministry, he
goes to Harvard to study the economic and
industrial problems of the piesent. He will
likely remain in the east for two years.
Notwithstanding the peculiar fitness of both
Miss Rogers and Mr. Edwards for the honors
which they are enjoying at the present, it
is but fair to say that to Dr. Frank Thilly is
due this opportunity to enjoy scholarships at
Harvard and Cornell. He made them able
to do the work, and then made it possible for
them to enjoy the privilege of doing it. Dr.
Thilly deserves all praise for the personal
interest he takes in eery w 01 thy student.
He is ever read7 and willing to help the de-serving
; those that help themselves.
